Ikea Sultan Hagavik Mattress

I recently bought the queen size Sultan Hagavik Ikea mattress, mostly driven for the good prices compared with other mattresses sold out there, but it was kind of a disappointment.

The mattress is a bit too hard, if I remember correctly I was told by the sales representative this was specially designed for people who sleep on their side, which as opposed to back sleepers, need more of a soft cushion.

After a few nights sleep in my brand new mattress my shoulders were sour and hurting, it was too late to bring the item back to the store, and I didn’t want to go through the pain and suffering of re-ship it back, so I endured the really hard surface of it, eventually getting used to it, but not without a good amount of discomfort.

My wife had pretty much the same problems with it.

After reading a bit about this specific mattress in Ikea's website I've seen that this is classified as "Firm", and boy they were not kidding!!

So it was probably my mistake to not double-check what the Ikea employee was telling me at the floor.

In the positive side, the mattress seems to deal especially good with hot weather.

There was a couple of really hot nights this year, but the mattress felt fresh throughout the night, allowing me to sleep better than I was sleeping before with my old mattress.

I also like the surface, which seem really easy to clean up. The mattress is also reversible, and easy to handle.

I would not recommend it, especially if you are a side sleeper, and you can't stand hard surfaces.

But if you are into form mattresses, and you are looking for a durable, economic alternative, that deals great with hot weather, this may be the mattress you are looking for.
